  1. Of course..but these fixtures just don't happen anymore, and if as many do, want them to fold, they never will. Suppose I can take the laid back view over them, because I moved from Bristol when I was 16, but never lost the passion for City, never will. The rivalry at school was massive, but my sister married a gas head, and to be honest I used to go to Eastville with him and his mates, but never wanting a gas win. But he used to come with me to the Gate too, and those Wembley finals too, he always, he said wanted a City win. Those days at Eastville, and AG were massive local derbies, and I am glad I have those memories, some fantastic players, Harold Jarman, Alfie Biggs, Big John, brilliant. Anyway thanks for all the bites, best fun I have had for ages.
  2. Look, you got some easy likes and Lols from the easily impressed, well done, made your day did it? You are making as if Rovers are our rivals, my God how sad?
  3. Unabated, unchallenged , thought processes, yep that is what it is, would have hoped we have moved on from the seventies, Trumpton, Hollowhead, Mem, et. all, God sake move on, we have a fine club, don't waste energy on that lot, seems like we actually are in awe of them.
  4. In what? Rivals are assumed to be a force that challenges you, if that's what you think, so be it.
  5. So I am not a true City fan according to your skewed logic...grow up ,
  6. There should come a time when some should stop obsessing over them, to keep banging on about them shows they get under your skin. They are not our rivals, they used to be but not anymore, his sort of tribal post code thing seems to prevent us moving forward. I admit though to find it entertaining in their demise, but the other part of me thinks there a lot of other good Bristol folk who are completely down over this, and I could never laugh in their faces over that.
  7. They are a pox on Bristol, along with the Kill the Bill protesters, but our own form is pretty much diabolical too, losing at home 6 on the trot, Brum, Rotherham etc, IF we were in a postion to mock, fair enough, but we are not.
  8. Us mocking Rovers position, is frankly embarrassing.
  9. What amazes me is the lack of còment from the English camp, maybe because it's India and the volatile nature over there they are being quiet, however something needs to be done for the sake of Test Match cricket. Not everyone appreciates limited over cricket IPL, and now the ridiculous 100, 5 day tests will be a thing of the past unless we stamp out this cheating.
  10. Yes the idea is have a pitch that helps seamers, pace, initially, and then spin on about the third or fifth day, not the first session. That was never a test match pitch. Would have been better on coconut matting.
  11. Yes I believe they can happened to SA 2019. The site of sweeping the crease area into a dustpan was shocking. They have a wonderful stadium and a farcical pitch, shameless by India, needs investigating.
  12. Root a part time spinner, took five wickets. Truth is the pitch was a disgrace, should be officially called and and given demerit points. This was not a test pitch, the whole match lasted just four sessions.
  13. Looks like it could be a seamers wicket, the selection was pretty cute.
  14. Concentrate on reporting first the next wicket, before it actually happens.
  15. No but you obviously are loving it, its what you do.
  16. Bliley you are just the same on the cricket,always negative. What is shocking is the India steamers throwing action.
  17. I was there when the floodlights were commissioned, and I am pretty sure it was a friendly.
  18. Well you will be safe, so far off your head Covid would give you a swerve.. stupid David Ike rantings have no bearing on facts, what a pilock.
  19. What a load of rubbish with the cardboard cut outs....how on Earth does that improve the atmosphere? Madness.
  20. Your comments regarding the older generation is abysmal. Getting teary over Tom ...and blaming them for pushing to get back to normal is just plain wrong. I am not a sentimentalist, but in the case of Tom it was a fantastic show of genorisity and appreciation for someone who served his country, thankfully we are all not like you, and appreciate real heroes. You also deride those that clap! In appreciation of NHS staff, and this according to you is an older generation thing, news for you its not, kids are very much involved. And all this from someone who's partner is a NHS worker. Crazy and confusing.
